throttle
A throttle is a mechanism by which fluid flow is managed by constriction or obstruction.
An engine's power can be increased or decreased by the restriction of inlet gases (by the use of a throttle), but usually decreased. The term throttle has come to refer, informally, to any mechanism by which the power or speed of an engine is regulated, such as a car's accelerator pedal. What is often termed a throttle (in an aviation context) is also called a thrust lever, particularly for jet engine powered aircraft. For a steam locomotive, the valve which controls the steam is known as the regulator.

Misc Throttle cable to gas pedal
Long story short, the throttle cable in my cj 5 (1974 cj5, amc 304) broke snapped, and i replaced it. The only issue i am running into is how do i connect it to the gas pedal? I’ve attached a photo and video showing how the gas pedal is still on the floor, no tension whatsoever. Thank you for...- Mr.Jones
